The FOX HD-SDI is a transceiver that can function as a
transmitter and/or a receiver. At least two units are required
for a transmitter-receiver system with at least one fiber optic
cable linking each two units. The FOX HD-SDI is available in
single mode or multimode versions.
Connect and operate two or more FOX HD-SDI units as follows:
Step 1
Power off all equipment.
If desired, mount the units in racks.
Step 2
Use the rear panel
Mode DIP switches
to configure each
unit to be installed
in the system as
a bidirectional
transceiver, a transmitter, or a receiver as shown above right.

The drawings below and on QS-2 show the signal flow for
the three different FOX HD-SDI configurations. For more
information on the various modes and their capabilities, see
"Transceiver configurations" in chapter 1, "Introduction".
Step 3
Transmitting unit —
Connect an HD-SDI, SDI, or 3G-SDI
video source to the unit's HD/SDI In BNC connector.
Step 4
Transmitting unit —
If the FOX HD-SDI
is configured as a
transmitter
, and if desired,
connect one or two local
monitors to the unit's
Buffered Outputs BNC
connectors. These two
BNCs output the same
HD-SDI, SDI, or 3G-SDI video that was input in
step 3
.
Step 5
Both units —
Connect
a fiber cable between
the transmitting unit's
Optical Tx connector
and the receiving unit's Optical Rx connector.
